Default I need to hold the ignitor to drive my car?? what's wrong!

i recently posted that i couldn't get my car to start...it seems like i can get the car running if i keep the ingnition on...I didn't drive more than 15 feet (I just had to move it from the middle of my drive way to the side.)

Hi I need some advice.

I have a 94 Integra. 163000 miles.

My car starts, and then turns off right away. I try to get the RPM's up after the car starts, but it dies right away.

The radio and my lights are running fine. I have half a tank of gas.

I changed my battery less than 4000 miles ago, changed my distributor cap 11,000 miles ago and my alternator and my distributor in 2000 (probably at 105K+ miles.)

Does anyone have an idea of what my problem is?

I did get a SMOG check 2 days ago. I checked my wires going into the distributor cap.

Thank for your help!

You need the electric ignition switch that goes behind the lock cylinder.

Sounds like you lost the hot/run side from your ignition switch. You
need to replace it, find it cheap on eBay.
